This chapter is going to be a little, different. There is a lot of singing, but what I want you to get from the songs is a sense of the characters. You can tell a lot about someone by the types of music that they listen too. Also, it was fun to have the Liz and Will make eyes at each other while they sing. Their thoughts will be shown in during the songs. Liz will be bold and Will will be italics.
The Will and Liz were sitting around the fireplace later the same day after Liz, leg securely plastered, was released from the hospital. Everyone else had escaped outside to the pool at the insistance of Liz that their vacation not be ruined on her behalf. Will was typing at his computer softly humming. Liz, who prided herself on being able to recognize most songs could not remember ever having heard this melody. Finally, curiousity got the better of her and she asked. Will looked up supirsed, and answered,
"'And I Love Her'. You know, The Beatles."
" I have never heard that song!" Liz exclaimed. "That's really weird to because I love the Beatles. Sing it for me?" Will considered it shyly for a second then opened his mouth letting his rich voice sing out.
"I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
Wow Will has an amazing voice...and he looks really carefree when he sings. Like that is his true self.
She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
Wow...he's so intense when he sings, and he is looking at me again. Like he really believes what he is singing. That's hot. No! Damn it! We are not supposed to find annoying inverted men sexy! Keep your hormones under control!
A love like ours
Could never die
I wish that Liz would love me. What? Where the Hell did that come from Darcy?
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
will never die
And I love her
Damn. Whatever girl is on the recieving end of this song is going to be lucky! Oh crap, that's me isn't it.
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
will never die
And I love her, ooh"
Liz relaxed back onto the coach and proclaimed,
"That is a very romantic song. Your lucky you know it. One day, when you have a girlfriend, all you'll have to do is sing that song to her and she'll marry you on the spot."
"Really?" Will inquired.
"Yes," Liz replied, "Almost every girl loves romantic songs."
'Sing me one of your favourites?" Will asked. Liz nodded and began,
"Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
No. No, no no! This is so not fair! Why did I ask her to sing?The way she is singing this song is going to drive me crazy!
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
She is really getting into this song. Especially that part about they can't tempt us with their lies. I wonder if there is a story there? No! We are not supposed to find the emo chick hot and intriguing!
And I wanna walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
Damn it! He is looking at me! Again! Why is he looking at me? Oh right, I'm singing a romantic song to him. Wait, not to him. Just, in general, singing.
I wanna wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me "
As she finished her song, the others returned from the pool.
"What's going on?" Lottie asked.
'Will and I were just discussing romantic songs." Liz replied.
"Really?" asked Jenny. "Do you know what my favourite is? "I'll Be Seeing You.""
"Oh! I love that song!" Liz said. Will, spotting another chance for him to express himself in the one way he felt comfortable began to sing again.
"I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through
Why the hell am I finding it hard to stop thinking about how hot Will is when he is singing?
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
And The chestnut trees
The wishing well
This song is ringing way to true. I do see her everywhere! What's wrong with me? I can't possibly like this girl!
And I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
And everything that's bright and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you"
Soon, songs began to be called out, and either Liz or Will would sing them.
There was Lottie's favourite, which Liz sang,
"What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rules of love
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do ...
Liz is beautiful when she sings. I can't believe this. I like Liz. Damn. This is going to be so inconvienent.
And I have the sense to recognize that
I don't know how to let you go
every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
but I have the sense to recognize
I love this song too. It's beautiful how she can't let him go. Reminds me of George. Wait! We don't want to think about HIM either!
That I don't know how
to let you go
I don't know how
to let you go
Fuck! Finn is never going to let me here the end of this. I can't believe this.
A glowing ember
burning hot
burning slow
deep within I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only you
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
and I have sense to recognize but
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go"
And then Marianne's, which to everyones suprise, Will knew.
"How does it feel to know you're everything I need
The butterflies in my stomach
they could bring me to my knees
How does it feel to know you're everything I want
I've got a hard time saying this
so I'll sing it in a song
Will knows this song? Why does Will know this song? This is an EMO song! He's supposed to hate emo music!
Oh I adore the way you carry yourself
With the grace of a thousand angels overhead
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt
When we become one
When we become one
When we become one
When we become one
Holy Fucker! Will is looking straight at me. It's like he is singing to me! Why? He's an arrogant bastard who hates me and my band!
How does it feel
How does it feel when we get locked into a stare?
Like the one we're in now...
Please don't come looking for me
when I get lost in the mess of your hair
How do you feel when everything you've known
gets thrown aside
Never fear, my dear, 'cause we have nothing left to hide
Oh I adore the way you carry yourself
With the grace of a thousand angels overhead
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt
Hold on to me girl
If you feel your grip getting loose
just know that I'm right next to you
Hold on to me girl
If you feel your grip getting loose
Just know that I won't let you down
Well, I'm ready
Well, I'm ready
I am ready
To run away with you
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
To run away with me
I am NOT ready for this!
Pack your things we can leave today
Pack your things we can leave today
Say our goodbyes and get on the train
Say goodbye
Just you and I in the sweet unknown
We can just call each other our home
If I had to choose a way to die
it'd be with you
In a goosebump infested embrace
With my overanxious hands cupping your face
In a goosebump infested embrace
With my overanxious hands cupping your cherub face
How does it feel?"
Liz then sang Lisa's favourite.
"You light me up and then I fall for you
You lay me down and then I call for you
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I'd let it all come down and then some for you
Not going to think about Will anymore! Am going to stay far far away from him!
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby, why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' round, oh pretty baby
I cannot think about Liz this way! I am going to have to stay far far away from her!
And I know things can't last forever
But there are lessons that you'll never learn
Oh, just the scent of you, it makes me hurt
So how's it you that makes me better
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby, why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin'
Why can't you hold me and never let go
When you touch me, it is me that you own
Pretty baby, oh the place that you hold in my heart
Would you break it apart again, oh pretty baby
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby, why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' round
Pretty baby, why can't you see
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
Pretty baby, why can't you see
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
Oh pretty baby, my pretty baby, my pretty baby
Don't you leave me"
Through out the duration of the mini concert, Will snuck glances at Liz as she sang and vice versa. It did not go unoticed by everyone else, and when they headed up the stairs to their rooms, Jenny pulled Liz to the side and asked,
"When did we change our minds about Will?"
"What the hell are you talking about Jenny?" Liz asked.
"Oh don't give me that!" Jenny protested, "You two couldn't keep your eyes off each other tonight."
"Whatever Jenny, I do not like the stuck up, unsociable Will. It would be crazy!" Liz replied and escaped into her room. After the door shut, Jenny whispered to herself,
"Nope, she doesn't like him. She loves him."
A similar confronation was taking place between Will and Finn. However, Will did not deny Finn's accuasations, but admitted to liking Liz, a lot. But he denied that he would ever become involved with someone like her.
Everyone hopped that the next morning would be less eventful, but alas, it was not to be. The entire house was awoken at the buttcrack of dawn by the arrival of Chase's annoying sister, Carol. Carol, was the sort of person that everyone hates. The worse part is that hating her is completely justified. She was a lazy, seflish, stuck-up bitch. She also happened to be in lust with Will, or more precisely, his money. Her arrival immediatly caused Will to regress back to his monosylable, secluded existance. This annoyed Liz to no end, but she was determined to forget about him, and enjoy the rest of the week. Unfortunately, this was proving to be particularly difficult. Will spent most of his time inside, where Liz had to be due to her leg, and Carol, wanting to be as close to Will as humanly possibly at all times, remained inside as well. One day, Will was writing an e-mail on his computer to his sister, and Carol was being even more annoying then ever. Every five seconds she would compliment Will on something, and he would grunt in response. Finally unable to stand it any longer, Liz slammed down the pad on which she had been trying to write new lyrics and declared,
"Carol, shut the fuck up!" Carol gapped at her for a second before opening her mouth and replying,
"You little bitch! How dare you tell me to shut up! Do you KNOW who I am?"
"YES!" Liz answered, "A really really annoying kiss ass! You can't shut up for more than five seconds. Seriously, I don't think he is intrested, and you're only making me angry by continously saying the same stupid things over and over again!" With that, Liz stormed out of the room, as well as one can with a broken leg. As she hobbled up the stairs, she thought furiously, "I cannot stand her! She is always hanging all over Will! It's so pathetic! Crap! I left my notepad downstairs!"
Downstairs, Carol was venting her thoughts aloud to a stunned Will.
"Who does that girl think she is?" Carol screamed. "I am not pathetic!" Will finally snapped out of his thoughts about how hot Liz looked when she was angry and said,
"Carol, you are pathetic! I've told you countless times to leave me the hell alone."
"Well!" Carol huffed, "I know that you're just saying that. I know that one day, you will realize that I am perfect for you. And just why are you standing up for her anyway? Should I be worried? Should I start planning the wedding?"
"What the hell are you talking about Carol?" Will demanded.
'Oh it is so obvious! You love that stupid little whore. Well, I wish you two well, but don't come running back to me when you get tired of her!" Carol shouted back.
"That's ridiculous! I do not LOVE Liz! I hate her and her stupid band and I wish that they would just leave! I mean, she's so so..ugg...and her sister is obviously some goldigger looking for five seconds of fame by dating Chase! Now leave me the HELL alone Carol!" Will roared. At this last comment, Liz entered the room. It was obvious that she had overheard the entire conversation. Hell, people in Japan had probably heard the whole conversation. All she did however, was walk to the coffee table and grab her pad. Then she was gone again.
Woot! I finally got the thing to let me upload this chapter! YAY! It's a little...odd... I know.
